Accident warning device

Abstract

A disaster-related warning apparatus ( 1 ) housed in a case ( 10 ) installable to a building or equipment, including at least one type of disaster sensing means ( 20 ) for outputting a detection signal upon sensing a predetermined type of disaster, and notification means ( 30 ) for making an instruction about a location of emergency equipment or appliance prepared for the disaster optically or by an audio message, the notification means being activated in response to the detection signal outputted by the disaster sensing means ( 20 ).

1 . A disaster-related warning apparatus housed in a case installable to either of a building and equipment, comprising: 
 at least one type of disaster sensing means for outputting a detection signal upon sensing a predetermined type of disaster; and    notification means for making an instruction about a location of either of emergency equipment and appliance prepared for the disaster optically or by an audio message, the notification means being activated in response to the detection signal outputted by the disaster sensing means.    
   
   
       2 . The disaster-related warning apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the disaster sensing means includes any of a temperature sensor for sensing heat in case of fire, a gas sensor for sensing smoke in case of the fire, a sound sensor for sensing an alarm sound of an emergency bell, and a vibration sensor for sensing an earthquake.  
   
   
       3 . The disaster-related warning apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the notification means includes either of a laser pointer and an LED, and the laser pointer is constituted such that a pointing orientation is arbitrarily adjustable and a beam is swingable within a required range while using a set pointing orientation as a reference.  
   
   
       4 . The disaster-related warning apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the notification means includes recording means capable of recording and reproducing at least one type of audio message corresponding to the type of disaster.  
   
   
       5 . A disaster-related warning apparatus to be used by being attached onto either of a building and equipment, comprising: 
 fire sensing means for outputting a detection signal upon sensing any of heat and smoke in case of fire and an alarm sound of an emergency bell;    earthquake sensing means for outputting a detection signal upon sensing an earthquake;    optical notification means capable of making an optical instruction about a location of either of emergency equipment and appliance prepared for a disaster;    fire-case audio notification means capable of issuing an audio message to instruct about the location of either of the emergency equipment and appliance prepared for the disaster as well as an audio message corresponding to an occurrence of a fire;    earthquake-case audio notification means capable of issuing the audio message to instruct about the location of either of the emergency equipment and appliance prepared for the disaster as well as an audio message corresponding to an occurrence of an earthquake; and    controlling means for selecting either one of the fire-case audio notification means and the earthquake-case notification means and activating the optical notification means and the selected one of the fire-case audio notification means and the earthquake-case notification means based on the detection signal outputted by either thereof,    wherein the controlling means activates the optical notification means and the fire-case audio notification means upon receiving the detection signal only from the fire sensing means, operates the optical notification means and the earthquake-case audio notification means upon receiving the detection signal only from the earthquake sensing means, and operates the optical notification means and the fire-case audio notification means upon receiving the detection signals from the fire sensing means and the earthquake sensing means.
